HARP Bestiary

- continue your journey on the new road to High Adventure

Ready your weapons and your spells to battle the fiends, dangerous and diabolical, described in this tome.
Learn of the mundane and supernatural perils that prowl the wildernesses of the world, of the mighty denizens of the seas and oceans, and of the winged beasts soaring on the winds above.
Understand the shapechanging Weres, who dwell amongst men, but transform into bloodthirsty beasts by the power of the moon. Marvel at the majesty of the Dragons, paragons of might, magic and cunning, while you covet the fabulous riches of their hoards.
Study closely the powers and vulnerabilities of the Undead if you wish to escape their deadly embrace. Travel to the unearthly planes of Air, Earth, Fire and Water where enigmatic Elementals rule supreme. Finally descend into the very hells of the Abyss where vile demons and cruel demon lords hold court and plot the subjugation of all the worlds.

I truly apologize for how I wrote my opinion earlier. I appreciate your craft...I have no skill in writing or creating that great game. Tons of information given on this book. However, the creatures from the basic rulebook weren't transferred to this book and given large descriptions.

A friend asks about the difference between a cats BMV (13) vs. a domestic pig (23). I'm asking also.

The Bestiary is intended to be a comprehensive sourcebook - no one is laughing at you or anyone else. For PCs with access to familiars, summon animal spells, transformation spells, etc., having worked out legal stats should be useful rather than having to scramble to make stuff up on the fly. For low-magic fantasy worlds (and even some oddities such as the cattle raids that feature in some of the key Irish legends), there is likely to be a need for mundane animal stats. However, we fully appreciate that other campaigns and GMs will have much less need for the mundane - three quarters of the book is monsters, weres, dragons, elementals, undead and demons.

HARP and RMSS are two systems I truly appreciate the rules (at 2nd and 3rd top of list of favorites, actually). In HARP there are twenty pages of monsters and each page have four - five monsters on each page with brief (useful) descriptions and stats. Then here came this book which gives the answers for a zoology test.

Nice...a full page telling us about cows. And...it is nice to be told that cows (page 20) say cows have "blazing speed, dense musculature, enhanced scent, enhanced senses, immunity to stuns, instinctive defense, lesser resistance (stamina), Multiple or Peripherals eyes(minor), natural weapon (teeth), portage skills, tough hide (minor), toughness.
Yup, and don't forget about cows had Endurance (3) 31, Navigation (1) 1, Perception (3) 34, Resistance - Magic (2) 8, Resistance - Will (2) 10. There's more.
AND don't forget that they literally wrote about "domestic pig". Endurance (3) 35, frenzy (3) 25, Navigation (3) 13, Perception (3) 45 and pigs have "blazing speed, enhanced scent, enhanced senses, immunity to stuns, instinctive defense, lesser resistance(all), etc. etc.
THEY WROTE THAT!!

Alas, the cover! Given the standard of art we regularly get these days from some other publishers, and indeed from ICE in years gone by, I'm not sure I can bring myself to purchase this.

It's weird that some creatures lack a DB Breakdown. It's pretty important to have if using Rolemaster attack tables in order to remove the natural armour-based DB and decide on an AT.
(Of course it would be even more helpful if each creature had a Arms Law AT and DB already listed)

Wow! I thought I was the only one using Rolemaster tables in HARP :)

Is this going to be made available as POD? I ask because it looks like it is already in that category.

They said it would be made available as a PoD once they've made sure to have caught all the errata.

It looks odd to release a new product without an annuncement. I red the april director briefing, it didn't look to be near to release. 20$ for 500 pages look a bit odd.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
